Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for recording information concerning the use of an injection device and relates particularly, but not exclusively, to an apparatus for recording information concerning the use of an injection device which is used to inject medicament such as insulin.
  • Some supplemental devices are not capable of displaying information about previously administered doses (or at least do not display all of the information they record). Dose history information may instead only be accessed using proprietary software on a computer which a person may not have access to at all times. The situation could therefore arise that a person cannot administer future doses on the basis of information concerning previously administered doses. In particular if a user were to forget how much insulin has been previously administered, and when the last injection took place, they will be required to guess the appropriate time of their next insulin dose and the quantity of insulin to be injected which is highly undesirable.
  • WO2011/117212 relates to a device and method for determining information related to a medical device.
  • apparatus for recording information concerning the use of an injection device as claimed in claim 1.
  • this improves the ease with which use information can be accessed since it is more likely that a device capable of displaying images will be accessible at a given time than a computer which has stored thereon proprietary software for both analysing and displaying data which concerns the use of an injection device.
  • the apparatus may be a supplemental device provided with a part for coupling the supplemental device to said injection device and the one or more sensors may be configured to detect information displayed or generated by the injection device in use.
  • this enables the apparatus to be used in conjunction with an existing injection device.
  • the apparatus may be an integral part of said injection device.
  • this provides an injection device with enhanced functionality.
  • the memory may be configured to store said use information in a lossy image format.
  • the memory may be configured to store said use information in raster format, vector format, compound format or stereo format.
  • the memory may be configured to store said use information in .JPEG format.
  • the apparatus may further comprise a transmitter for wirelessly transmitting said use information to a remote device.
  • the memory may comprise a storage device that is removable from said apparatus.
  • the apparatus may further comprise an interface for receiving the storage device.
  • the memory may comprise another storage device that is not removable from said apparatus.
  • the processor may be configured to copy information from one storage device to another of said storage devices.
  • the apparatus may further comprise one or more user interface features that may be manipulated to cause the processor to copy information from one said storage device to another of said storage devices.
  • the storage device which is removable from said apparatus may be configured such that use information stored thereon is capable of being read by at least one of a digital camera, a computer, a mobile phone, a TV and an electronic photo frame.
  • the storage device that is removable from said apparatus may comprise an SD card, an XD card or a USB memory stick.
  • Said use information may relate to an amount of dose ejected from the injection device, the time when a dose was ejected from the injection device and/or a BGM reading.
  • Figure 1 is an exploded view of an injection device 1, which may for instance represent Sanofi's Solostar (R) insulin injection pen.
  • an injection device 1 which may for instance represent Sanofi's Solostar (R) insulin injection pen.
  • the injection device 1 of Figure 1 is a pre-filled, disposable injection pen that comprises a housing 10 and contains an insulin container 14, to which a needle 15 can be affixed.
  • the needle is protected by an inner needle cap 16 and an outer needle cap 17, which in turn can be covered by a cap 18.
  • An insulin dose to be ejected from injection device 1 can be selected by turning the dosage knob 12, and the selected dose is then displayed via dosage window 13, for instance in multiples of so-called International Units (IU), wherein one IU is the biological equivalent of about 45.5 micrograms of pure crystalline insulin (1/22 mg).
  • An example of a selected dose displayed in dosage window 13 may be 30 IUs, as shown in Figure 1 . It should be noted that the selected dose may equally well be displayed differently, for instance by means of an electronic display.
  • the dosage knob 12 causes a mechanical click sound to provide acoustical feedback to a user.
  • the numbers displayed in dosage window 13 are printed on a sleeve that is contained in housing 10 and mechanically interacts with a piston within the insulin container 14.
  • the insulin dose displayed in display window 13 is ejected from injection device 1.
  • the needle 15 of injection device 1 remains for a certain time in the skin portion after the injection button 11 is pushed, a high percentage of the dose is actually injected into the patient's body. Ejection of the insulin dose also causes a mechanical click sound, which is however different from the sounds produced when using dosage knob 12.
  • Injection device 1 may be used for several injection processes until either insulin container 14 is empty or the expiration date of injection device 1 (e.g. 28 days after the first use) is reached.
  • injection device 1 before using injection device 1 for the first time, it may be necessary to perform a so-called prime shot to remove air from insulin container 14 and needle 15. This may be achieved by selecting two units of insulin and pressing injection button 11 while holding injection device 1 with the needle 15 pointing upwards.
  • the ejected doses substantially correspond to the injected doses, so that, for instance when making a proposal for a dose to be injected next, this dose equals the dose that has to be ejected by the injection device. Nevertheless, differences (e.g. losses) between the ejected doses and the injected doses may of course be taken into account.
  • FIG 3 is a schematic illustration of a supplemental device 2 which may be releasably attached to an injection device such as the one depicted in Figure 1 for instance. It is envisaged however that the supplemental device 2 may be coupled to and used in conjunction with other types of injection devices of other types, and for administering different medicaments.

  • the mating unit need not however be of the snap-fit variety and other arrangements may alternatively be suitable for coupling the supplemental device 2 to an injection device 1 such as a strap.
  • the supplemental device 2 When coupled to an injection device 1, the supplemental device 2 may be caused to obstruct the dosage window 13 (as in Figure 6 ).
  • a supplemental device 2 configured to be used in this way contains one or more sensors, for example optical and/or acoustical sensors 25, 27 which gather information from the injection device 1.
  • the optical sensor(s) 25 gather information which is displayed in the dosage window 13. Such gathered information may then subsequently be displayed by display unit 21 provided on the supplemental device 2.
  • the supplemental device 2 further comprises one or more transducers for receiving user input, illustrated schematically as a single button 22 in Figure 3 although a plurality of buttons may be provided instead as shown in Figures 4 and 6 .
  • Such input transducers may by used, inter alia, to turn on/off the supplemental device 2, trigger actions (which may involve causing the supplemental device 2 to pair or establish a connection with another device, and/or causing the device 2 to transmit information to another device), or to confirm something.

  • the device 2 is also provided with a single user input button (or switch 22). Actuation of the button 22 may cause the supplemental device 2 to be turned on and/or off. Manipulation of the touch sensitive input transducer 35 may trigger other actions involving, inter alia, causing the device 2 to pair or establish a connection with another device, triggering transmission of information from the supplemental device 2 to another device, and/or confirming something such as a user's desired selection.
  • Figure 6 illustrates an internal schematic view of a supplemental device 2 of the kind depicted in Figure 4 in a state where it is coupled to an injection device 1.

  • Processor 24 executes program code (e.g. software or firmware) stored in a program memory 240, and uses a main memory 241, for instance to store intermediate results.
  • Main memory 241 may also be used to store a logbook on performed ejections/injections.
  • Program memory 240 may for instance be non-volatile memory, such as Read-Only Memory (ROM), and main memory may for instance be a volatile memory, such as Random Access Memory (RAM).

Such information may comprise information that human operators (users and/or medical practitioners) would be interested to be included in the aforementioned logbook on performed ejections/injections. Other supplemental devices 2 however may not be provided with a display unit 21 and may be configured to store information related to a condition and/or use of the injection device 1 without causing it to be displayed. An example of one such supplemental device 2 is illustrated in Figure 7 in the form of an electronic module 33 that is capable of being fitted to the rear of an injection device 1.
  • supplemental devices 2 may be provided with one or different types of sensors for determining information relating to a condition and/or use of an injection device 1. It will further be appreciated that the supplemental devices 2 may be configured to cause such determined information to be saved in a storage space (for example main memory 241 or a removable memory card). In particular this information may comprise entries made in a logbook containing details of a dose history for a particular user.
  • a supplemental device 2 may be provided with sensors which enable the processor 24 of such device to determine: i) the size of an insulin dose delivered by an injection device; ii) the date and/or time when such dose was delivered; and /or iii) the latest BGM (blood glucose measurement) reading of the user's blood. Information relating to these parameters may be saved in a storage space located on the supplemental device (such as main memory 241 or a removable memory card) along with similar information determined at later or earlier times. This information collectively provides a dose history of the person using the injection device to which the supplemental device is coupled.
  • Information concerning each separate dose may be saved in the above mentioned storage space in a format that is only readable by propriety software. Such proprietary software may be utilised by the supplemental device, or a remotely located computer, to display and/or analyse dose history information. Additionally however (or instead) information concerning each separate dose may be saved in the storage space in an image format.
  • image format may be of either the lossy or lossless variety. Particular examples of image formats that may be used include, inter alia, raster format, vector format, compound format and stereo format.
  • the processor may achieve conversion into an image format by taking the raw information relating to a dose, applying it to a template, and converting the completed template into an image file. More specifically information concerning each separate dose may be saved in the storage space in .JPEG format or .BMP format.
  • .JPEG format Joint Photographic Experts Group format
  • Figure 8 illustrates an example of a .JPEG image depicting dose information.
  • the supplemental device may have a wireless unit 28 of the kind described in connection with Figure 6 .
  • a wireless unit 28 may be used to wirelessly transfer data relating to images, which depict dose information, to a remote device.
  • the supplemental device may transfer data relating to images, which depict dose information, to a remote device via a cable or fibre connection.
  • Such devices may be coupled via a USB interface for example.
  • the storage space on which images that depict dose information are saved may be removable and connected to a remote device which is capable of displaying images.
  • a removable storage space may for example comprise an SD card, an XD card or a USB memory stick, and may co-operate with (or be received in) a complementary interface provided on the supplemental device.
  • a removable storage space may serve as a secondary storage device in addition to a primary (or main) storage device that cannot be removed from a supplemental device. Information may be copied between such primary and secondary storage devices.
  • a supplemental device may have one or more user interface features which upon manipulation cause a processor to copy information between the primary (non-removable) and secondary (removable) storage devices. For example, if a supplemental device is provided with a display unit 21, a menu feature may be displayed asking the user to indicate whether or not they want to copy information from the primary storage device to the secondary storage device or vice versa. Such a menu feature may be caused to be displayed upon connection of a secondary storage device to the supplemental device.
  • a user may indicate a positive or negative selection via a short and/or long press of a particular combination of one or more transducers for receiving user input such as a button 22 or a touch-sensitive pad or transducer 35.
  • supplemental devices that are not provided with a display unit 21 (and even those which are) a user may indicate whether or not they want to copy information between the primary and secondary storage devices at any particular time via a short and/or long press of a particular combination of one or more transducers for receiving user input (as before such transducers may comprise a button 22 or a touch-sensitive pad or transducer 35).
  • images that depict dose information are stored on a memory card
  • images may be displayed on any device that is capable of reading that memory card to view files stored thereon.
  • Some particular examples of devices that are capable of reading memory cards include digital cameras, computers, mobile phones, TVs and electronic photo frames.
  • a memory card is inserted into such an electronic device the files containing images, which depict dose information, will be automatically displayed in date and time order. This enables information concerning a particular dose to be quickly and easily located.
  • Figure 9 illustrates a plurality of such image files being displayed in date and time order on a computer.
  • a supplemental device that is capable of storing dose information in image format may be implemented by an injection device.
  • features which correspond with those of a supplemental device heretofore described may be integral parts of an injection device.
  • features corresponding with those of a supplemental device which has an acoustical sensor 27 in place of an optical sensor 25 may be integral parts of an injection device.
  • Such injection devices are capable of storing dose information in image format (for instance .JPEG format) in the manner previously described.
  • an injection device capable of storing dose information in image format may be provided with any combination of sensors for detecting information related to one or more conditions and/or use of the injection device.
  • Additional examples of information that may be included in an image depicting dose information may include a patient's name to whom a dose was administered and/or other details of that patient, a medical practitioner's name responsible for the patient using the injection device used, the type of insulin (or other medicament) delivered, the type of injection device used, a recommended amount of dose to be administered and an actual amount of dose that was delivered.
